[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: Enable percpu page first chunk allocator

From: Alexandre Ghiti
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 16:35:09 EST


While working with pcpu variables, I noticed that riscv did not support
first chunk allocation in the vmalloc area which may be needed as a fallback
in case of a sparse NUMA configuration.

patch 1 starts by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is needed since a new vmalloc mapping is established and directly accessed:
on riscv, this would likely fail in case of a reordered access or if the
uarch caches invalid entries in TLB.
Note that most architectures do not include asm-generic/cacheflush.h so to
avoid build failures, this patch implements the new function on each of
those architectures. For all architectures except riscv, this new function
is implemented as a no-op to keep the existing behaviour but it likely
needs another implementation.

patch 2 simply enables the page percpu first chunk allocator in riscv.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on top of 6.7
- Define flush_cache_vmap_early() for all architectures that do
not include <asm-generic/cacheflush.h> to avoid build failures
